Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Anyone want to share their thoughts about CM series book 6 Philosophy of Education?

I'm reading it right now. There is so much that I like about what she has to say. I'm still processing what I think about it all. I'd love to hear what others think about what she has written in this book.

Since no one had posted to this yet, I decided to go in and edit. I changed the boring subject line (still boring, but less so) and I had to add some thoughts. I didn't think I had much to say, but I discovered that of course I always have something to say.

For anyone who might be coming to this conversation and hasn't been part of the excellence in education one, I found myself reading CM after having some unexplainable resistance to it. I thought it was about narration, nature study and reading living books. I thought these were great and I was working on incorporating these things. I thought going any deeper than that would just be another "method" that would have us tied to more schedules and jumping through even more hoops. I wasn't interested. What I've discovered in my few chapters is that CM seems to be much more about how you look at children and what feeds them than about a list of hoops one needs to jump through to produce an educated child. I love that.
